Indiana Sees Record Participation For National College Application Day

Last updated on Monday, September 24, 2018

(UNDATED) - High school seniors can apply to 32 Hoosier colleges for free on Friday, Sept. 28

The Indiana Commission for Higher Education announces that 17 colleges will waive their college application fees on Friday in recognition of College Application Day. Another 15 colleges have reported free applications year-round.

In addition, more than 90 high schools across the state will host College Application Day events to help high school seniors navigate the admissions process--making this Indiana's biggest College Application Day since joining the national initiative in 2013.

"Every year we are encouraged to see more high schools and colleges participating in College Application Day," said Indiana Commissioner for Higher Education Teresa Lubbers. "At a time when the value of higher education has never been greater, College Application Day provides assistance to students as they take a critical step toward their futures."

On September 28, Indiana high school seniors can apply to the following Hoosier colleges for free.

College Application Day is sponsored in partnership by the Indiana Commission for Higher Education and the American College Application Campaign to increase the number of first-generation and low-income students who pursue education beyond high school.

College Application Day is an important part of Learn More Indiana's College GO! a campaign, which helps Hoosiers of all ages take steps to explore and prepare for college and career success. For more information, visit https://learnmoreindiana.org/.
